G{f}O Inspiration

There is a great paradox in life. What we SEEK is not around us but IN us! This world of contrast around us exists to EVOKE from us the pure essense of WHO we ARE, WHAT we ARE, and WHY we ARE!! Our infinite unfolding toward, and manifesting of, this truth is our Divine calling! Seek it today, express it now!

Today IS the day!! Today IS what it IS! It IS what it IS, and it's OK!! It has to be OK, becuase it's all you have!! And the truth is... You CAN get THERE from HERE. You CAN get ANYWHERE from HERE!! But you must start HERE, in your NOW, where it IS what it IS and it's OK.  NOW is your moment, THIS NOW is where your power IS, NOW is where the magic happens!!

NOW is THE moment! And NOW will always be the only MOMENT! The only MOMENT that is real, the only MOMENT that counts! People, things, and circumstances will come and go, but YOU, YOUR moment, YOUR passion, YOUR chance is just that, YOURS! No one can take it, YOU'RE the one who will make it! The moment is NOW, it's IN YOU, it IS YOU, take it, it's YOURS!! Are you trying to change something? It's really an effort in becoming!

Consider these lines of thought and action... "if I looked like I wanted, how would that feel?", and pursue that feeling and all the action and resources that align with it, from the smallest inkling you can generate NOW, to the fullest experience of it at completion. "What would I be doing?" Do it NOW even in limited ways, ev...en in your mind, read about it, move in the direction of it until life unfolds and you emerge to experience it as you want it. "How would I be acting?" Act like it NOW to the extent that you can, becuase it's IN you, it IS you, until you've become the fullest expression that you desire.

Just know this, there IS NO I'll feel this way WHEN!! I'll feel happy WHEN, I'll feel strong WHEN, I'll feel hopeful WHEN!! If you don't begin reaching for the feeling, even inklings of it, in your NOW, then you won't! And you won't get there. But you CAN get there from here if you seek, find, and nourish those seeds of possibility that ARE there if you will but look for them. The seeds that once grown connect here to there. It's here, it's in you NOW, it IS YOU!!! Again, take it, it's yours!!~ J.J.M

Journey 2 Fit {Day 7}

Last night Drew posted the grocery list!!!  I love how everything is something I already eat or like.  Also, the bonus is that I can cook the same stuff for my family.  That is one major obstacle when making a lifestyle change is getting everyone else on board.

I've been up since 4:30 and have been working, but all the while all I can think about is doing a plank or a sumo squat. 

I guess it is starting to get into my system.  2 Days until I get on the scale!!!  Nervous and excited!

Journey 2 Fit {Day 6}

Today was not as hard as I thought it was going to be.  David got up with me again.  Yea!  Does anyone else think the plank is the most torturous exercise in the world!!!??!!!  It is so hard, but I keep doing it because I feel tightening in my belly.  I love it and I hate it {...the exercise that is}.  The side planks are just as arduous. 

I am planning on participating in a 5k walk/run this Thanksgiving.  Anyone in?  Leave me a comment so I can contact you and we can plan...maybe have a team.  The race I am thinking about is the Utah Human Race.  If I get a group together, I would need a least 4 other people besides myself and I need to know by the 18th. of November.

Do you want to join me as Team GFO?

Journey 2 Fit {Day 5}

The novelty of the experience is starting to wain.  This is the true test of commitment.  But I am up and getting ready to do my exercises.  I will say that I already feel a tightening in my belly area and I don't feel so hungry.  I think...I hope that I am adjusting to the portions I am supposed to eat.  I haven't visited the scale yet, but so want to, but I am going to wait until Sunday.

Here's a little nugget:  For a boost of protein...add a TBS of peanut butter to your spinach smoothie...AMAZING!!!  I'll write up my recipe later today if you want to try it. 

When you try it I would love to read your comments on how you liked it.

Journey 2 Fit (Day 4}

So today is day 4 and yesterday was not as difficult as I had planned it to be.  I was hungry a couple of times, but I figure that was the growling I have always answered to and over did things.  Yesterday, I listened to it and then drank water and that calmed it a bit until I was able to get home and eat something more healthy.

Pretty sure it will happen again to day, but I am prepared to let it be.  Do you think with time it will be less aggressive or am I in for a hurtin'? 

The exercises were KILLER.  I still feel them today.  Hubby, got up on his birthday and did them with me...not sure if he's going to make it a repeat performance...he's in bed right now begging me not make it get out of bed and be "tortured" again...He's getting up!!!  We are in this together.

What are your thoughts so far folks?

Journey 2 Fit

I know it has been a while since my last post.  Doesn't  mean that I have been nothing during that time.  I've gone on some walks with the hubbs, spent a day in my teenager's dance club.  Yes, he's in dance club.  They are putting together a samba routine they are preparing to perform in about a month and a half, and the last thing I have been doing is searching for the best way for me.

Well, I've heard about this guy named Drew on 97.1 ZHT a little while back and he is a personal trainer who "was" super fit and decided that in order to understand his clients struggle to lose weight he needed to do it from their perspective.  

So over the past 6 months Drew has gained something between 70-80lbs.  Unbelievable!!  I never thought one could gain so much in such little time, but I guess it can be done.  Ironically, that is roughly the same amount of weight I have gained in the last 16 years.  

Anyway...Drew has just started the back to fit phase of his journey and hubby and I are going on it with him.  You can follow our part of the journey here, but you can do it with us and get the details from Drew's site, www.fit2fat2fit.com

It is super informative and I really like the fact that he breaks is down for men and women.  So excited, mainly because hubby is going to get up in the mornings and do this with me.  Definitely need a buddy.  

So leave me a comment if you think you will join the journey, or just follow us or need someone to be accountable to...I will be accountable to you too.  I need someone to call me on my crap in the area of my life.
